Blood gas analysis
30
4 components of blood gas analysis
1 partial pressure of 02 2. Partial pressure of c02 3. Ph 4. Hco3
31
Measures adequacy of oxygen saturation of haemoglobin
Partial pressure of 02
32
Measures the acidity and alkalinity of blood
Ph
33
Measures the compensation of the body to increased or decreased carbonic acid in the body
Hc03
34
Continuous, non-invasive technique for measuring oxygen saturation in the hemoglobin
Pulse oximetry
35
Electrodes are heated to 44°C attached to the chest causing vasodilation and brings peripheral arterial blood to the surface to be read for oxygen content
Transcutaneous oxygen monitoring

Measure of efficiency of Ventilation
Partial pressure of Co2
36
Reveals information about the microorganisms causing the disease of the upper respiratory tract
Nasopharyngeal culture
